Chapter 774
I Transmigrated As A Prison Guard And Suppressed The Princess
âYouâre going to help me?â
âYes.â The eldest Princess smiled sweetly.
âOnly by returning the favor can our relationship last. We canât let them suffer a loss, can we?â
Xiao ran waited for the rest of the story.
âIt just so happens that a few Grand scholars died at the Longwen Pavilion this time. If we transfer them over, itâll be just right for two people to be inlaid with gold and endure for a while there. After that, they can be transferred out or promoted to other important departments.â
âWhat rank is your official position?â
âRank five.â
âAlright,â he said. Xiao ran agreed.
Shi Ming and Gu qiuhe were both rank six now. If they were to be transferred there and be promoted by one rank, they would have to use their relationship with the eldest Princess. No one would dare to jump out and find trouble.
âWill it affect you?â
âYou think Iâm afraid?â
âYou!â Xiao ran smiled and brushed his finger on her delicate and lovely nose.
âHow much do you know about Ji Dongyang?â
......
âIâve heard a little, but itâs just a rumor. I canât be sure if itâs true. â The eldest Princess said.
âItâs said that Ji Dongyang had a daughter who no one has seen before. She seemed to have disappeared after that.â
âJust this?â Xiao ran frowned.
âYes.â The eldest Princess nodded.
âJi Dongyang did not hesitate to sacrifice his life to help ninth brother this time. He shouldered everything for him and even turned the tables on boss and the rest. Could it be related to his daughter?â
âLetâs make an assumption. â Xiao ran said.
âIf Ji Dongyangâs daughter is the ninth Princeâs woman, he should have a son and a daughter after all these years. In this way, their relationship will be even deeper. With this layer of relationship, everything that Ji Dongyang has done can be explained. â
The eldest Princess added,âhis last words were to exonerate ninth brother and put the blame on Zhou.â
They looked at each other.
They were all shocked by this guess.
âI have to say that the ninth Princeâs schemes and personality are unique. He schemed against everyone and took almost everything into consideration, but he still hid it so deeply. If he catches Princess Wei Wei this time, heâll really turn the tables. â
âIt is indeed a pity.â The eldest Princess sighed.
âWhatâs his reaction?â Xiao ran asked again.
âHe Dabao, who went to deliver the Imperial edict, and his family outside the palace are dead. Eunuch Zhu gave the order personally. Sheng Wen is just trying to scare the Tiger by using this as an excuse to tell the boss and the others not to stretch their hands too far. Itâs best not to think about what you shouldnât have taken. Otherwise, they wonât even know how they died.â
âItâs not only that, right?â
âYouâve seen him before. Heâs quite arrogant. Heâs a dog, but he doesnât have the awareness of a dog. Ninth brother was demoted, yet he still dared to provoke us. The combination of the two resulted in this scene. â
âSixteenth Prince and the others didnât say anything even after they died?â
âA bunch of pigs were used by someone. They didnât have the ability to get involved. Even if Ji Dongyang didnât kill them, Sheng Wen wouldnât let them off easily.â The eldest Princess explained.
âAlthough the royal family has countless resources, the best cultivation resources are limited. After all, there are only so many good things. Itâs impossible to waste them on pigs.â
âDid he ascend the throne in the same way?â
âDonât ask! Knowing too much might not be a good thing for you. â
He filled Xiao ranâs Cup with wine.
âThe Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Do you have any plans?â
âIâm done with this. I plan to take a few days off and relax.â
âDidnât you just take a month off the last time?â The eldest Princess was startled.
âIâm not counting on this little salary. Besides, I still have the right to buy a house after the reward from last time. Iâm planning to buy another house in a few days.â
The eldest Princess blinked, her bright eyes seemed to be able to see through him.
âYou have so many houses now, and you still want to buy a house?â
âThere are so many people in the capital. Countless people are cracking their heads trying to gain a foothold here. The house prices are rising rapidly. Buy more good houses and save them for the appreciation in value.â Xiao ran explained in all seriousness.
âYou lack this bit of money?â
âI donât lack! But buying a house is an obsession. â
The Grand Princess was speechless.
He thought of the houses he had in Jingwen Lane. He already had three in Vermilion Bird Lane, and he still wanted to buy more. Was this person poisonous? You like houses so much?
After dinner.
Xiao ran stood up from his chair and was about to leave.
âIâm a little cold, can you hug me?â As she spoke, the eldest Princess deliberately trembled and tightened her body, as if she was really very cold.
Xiao ran didnât point it out and walked over with a smile.
He held her in his arms and sat on the soft couch, lying on the bedding.
âIt would be great if time stopped forever at this moment.â The eldest Princess sighed.
âThis is easy.â Xiao ran smiled.
Under her puzzled gaze, he bent his finger and pointed.âSettle!â
The time Dao fruit rushed out of his body and floated above his head. The majestic power of time spun and froze the surroundings.
In the face of the power of time, everything was frozen in place.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
â!!!âThe eldest princessâs face darkened.
She turned her head, gritted her teeth, and was so angry that her teeth were cracking.
âYou can freeze this place and the time of the entire illusion realm continent?â
âYou like it?â
The Grand Princess was stunned for a moment before she burst out laughing.âI like it.â
She turned around, stretched out her hand, held Xiao ranâs head, and kissed him.
â¦â¦
After a long time.
At the prison door.
Xiao ran locked the door and waved his hand with a smile.âIâm leaving.â
âHurry up and get busy!â The eldest Princess rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.
He left purgatory.
He walked out.
Zhang Yu had been waiting for Xiao ran for a long time when they arrived at the hall on the first floor. He immediately went up to him when he saw Xiao ran.âBrother Xiao, are you free tonight?â
